WILLIAM MULDooN, the heavy and muscular
wrestler, who used to be New York policeman,
has pretty painful hand just now About a
month ago he had a contract to throw five other
wrestlers in an hour up in the interior of New
York State, and the last man of the five fell on
MuldOon's fingers in a way that threw them
back against the upper side of his wrist. The
next day he wrestled with Sorakchi and made
his hand worse, and three or four days ago, as
. it was once more getting into condition, Mervne
. Thompson, the heavyweight, fell on it again,
, twisting the fingers back just as they were in
the first place. Mr. Muldoon begins to regard
life as fleeing show, for mans diSlocation
given. But he continues to accept challenges

81 HEAR" says London Truth, ''that the
Queen has written privately to the Emperor
William strongly urging that an arrangement
should at once be made to afford liberal pro-
vision for the Crown Princess and her Younger
children in the event of the deaths of the Empe-
ror and Crown Prince, as if they died now she
would be left in very moderate circumstances
The Emperor has vast wealth at his disposal,
of which it is supposed nine-tenths will pass to
his successor on the Prussian throne, the Grand
Duchess of Baden getting the rest. 1t would be
easy for his Majesty to make an equitable ar
rangement in favor of the wife and family of
his eldest son, and he certainly ought to do SO
as it would not be right that they should be
left to depend on the liberality of Prince Will
liam"
